This is the time of year when most families are able to enjoy the beautiful beaches and oceans of the world. But did you know the ocean is home to an estimated 50-80% of all life on Earth, and provides more oxygen to the world than all other sources?

Dear INSERT_CUSTOM10,

With the end of year fast approaching, I can't help but reflect on what a significant year this has been for Mote Marine Laboratory.

In February, we lost our beloved Founding Director, Dr. Eugenie Clark, affectionately known as our Shark Lady. Genie's passing made it all the more clear how important Mote's work is and how critical it is that we continue her legacy for generations to come.

Your help is essential in making the difference that will allow us to achieve a better vision for tomorrow. Please join us in paving the way for the future and making our 60th Anniversary year one to remember.

Thank you for being a significant part of the Mote family. Warmest wishes for you and your loved ones during this holiday season.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Crosby, Ph.D., FLS
President & CEO
